I got into an accident when i was having my driving lessons. This is the letter i had to sign regarding the responsibility of providing information to the Insurance company about the incident.

This was what happened - I was having my driving lesson around 5 plus in the afternoon. The traffic was pretty heavy during that time. I was happily driving along Eunos Link as my instructor started praising me for my good driving skills while we were on our way back towards the CDC Centre at Ubi. The traffic light in front turned red so naturally i stopped behind a few cars. A while later, the traffic light turned green and the cars in front of me were slowly moving off. While i was doing my half-clutch technique to get my car going, there was a loud bang. At first, i thought i had stalled my car due to the poor half-clutch technique which i had done eariler, but later, my instructor told me that the car behind had hit us. My instructor got out and talked to the Indian driver and got him to follow us back to the Centre to settle the dispute. It was pretty embrassing for me coz i had to get out of the car and let my instructor drive. Moreover, we were in the middle of the road and there was a bad jam due to the accident. And as u know, typical Singaporeans would juz stop and look and the accident, making the jam even worst. While the Indian driver was obediently following us back to the Centre, another accident happened a few cars in front of us and the jam was getting from bad to worst. The next thing we knew, the Indian driver was out of sight. We lost track of him, so we went back to the Centre hoping that he would appear. But he didn't, lucky we took down his license plate number but according to the people at CDC, it wasn't good enough. We had to file for a police report for a hit and run case. There's so many forms to be filled, pictures to be drawn, it was a tedious process but an interesting lesson learnt. =)
